Go back in time and re-listen to this episode, to prepare you for the season 8 premiere on October 5.We first covered Hunters, Washington back in season two. And while our reporting on it paused, our investigation into it did not. Jordan and an anonymous source have spent years digging into Hunters and the abandoned farmhouse there. And even as we thought there was nothing left to find, new information began pouring in. And continued pouring in as recording and post-production on this episode were happening. This episode was written, researched, and produced by Josh Hallmark. With research by: Jordan Taylor, Shana Wilensky, and Michelle Tooker.   PATREONThis is a Studio BOTH/AND production:  www.truecrimebullshit.com / bothand.fyi  For an ad-free experience: www.patreon.com/studiobothand  Music by: Radical Face, Itai Argaman, Sergey Cheremisinov, and Nocturne. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-bullsh-the-israel-keyes-investigation--3588169/support.

Season 8 launches on October 5 and dives into Keyes's upbringing, life, and connections in Washington state and how they impacted and defined Keyes's crimes across the country.
